Asking for more money, TWICE?
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:12 pm
I'm basically wondering how to phrase asking a school to raise their scholarship offer a second time.
So here's how my situation played out.
I was trying to decide between Chicago-Kent and Brooklyn Law. Kent was offering me $$ while Brooklyn wasn't. I emailed Brooklyn saying that I wanted to go there, but I couldn't do so without more money. They topped Kent's offer. A few minutes ago Kent just emailed me upping Brooklyn's offer (I never emailed Kent asking anything they just did this on their own).
SO, as I said, is it possible for me to somehow politely/not-awkwardly ask Brooklyn for more $ again? Idk how I would even phrase this. "Hey, thanks for the big jump from your original offer...do it again please".
I figure some of you guys must have had schools going back and forth like this so I'm just trying to get some insight as to how I can approach them again.
Thanks.
